<h1>Distilling industry booms as regulatory reforms, e-governance, and duty cuts spur investment, capacity and export growth to 2026 forecast</h1> An industry association reports substantial expansion of a state's distilling sector, with production capacity and exports rising markedly since 2017-18 and forecasts that exports will exceed 1,000 million litres by 2026. The association credits regulatory reforms-e-governance, single-window clearances and reduced export duty on extra neutral alcohol-for attracting investment and boosting exports to multiple countries. Legal issues likely to arise include compliance with export controls and international trade obligations, licensing and environmental permitting for new plants, taxation and duty changes, and potential disputes over regulatory incentives or cross-border trade certification.
